1st Verse
Ross was the youngest one - but just as troublesome
Succumbs to drugs and guns - freshman 14
Ran with the mischievous - hoodlums to stick up kids
Went on to do a bit - senior year 17
Just another hard-headed kat with hood etiquette
One thing in mind - gotta get mine yo
Yours, hers and his - poverty encourages
The pressure from one's peers - want the girl - get the gear
Failing every course - I wasn't built for sports
Skinny, awkward guy that got high to stay occupied
40's, old E, st. ides - mushrooms, acid I tried
Add in ego and pride - the making of Senim's frankenstien
But there's more to the story - I gave a f*** for authority
s***...they never did for me - teenage minority - I acted accordingly
Mama, papa don't know me - new shoes, new clothes I stole these
Disguised good guy - supposing - til that day I met them police
Always after some thing - with the same city lights watching over
I guess it's just a human thing - everybody wanna be the king
Chorus
I got 20 dollar dream - just a penny a time
Getting high off remains of the day
See the pot don't boil if there ain't no fire
So I'm a burn til I burn away
If I'm a lost cause baby - don't you try to find me
I dun made up my mind I'm gonna stay
If living less than capital is more than enough
More than enough - ain't enough for me
I'm still - trying to find a better way
2nd Verse
It ain't me - it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son - I ain't no fortunate one
Fortunately I ain't get caught with the gun
I walked down 2 and change - got home 19 - still young
On the surface - the pious, righteous, Islamic observant
Til faced with temptation - the apple, the serpent - Got took by the current dog
A lack of work - the cause - brought me back to serving
The law - was no deterrent - more concerned with having room & board
And meanwhile - this girls having my child
I'm digging the sound of daddy - but dad ain't got no gig steady
Pushing up in a broke chevy -musical career - I'm betting
That kid can't eat good intentions - you'll need a plan b
Come in reality - over me like a stampede
Too late be a lawyer/doctor - kats dig your raps
But your music ain't popular
Life is so touch and go - bullethead Mr. Poe
One minute invincible - then skid row miserable
Always after some thing - with the same city lights watching over
I guess it's just a human thing - everybody wanna be the king
Chorus
